Chelsea homegrown talent Mason Mount may have to wait to take on his boyhood club next season.
Mount is not renewing his deal at Chelsea and will be sold this summer.
British media reports have linked Manchester United with his signature, with United even putting in a bid that was rejected by the Blues.
If the deal does go through, Mount may have to wait many months to play Chelsea.
New fixtures for the Premier League season suggest the two clubs will play in December.
United will host Chelsea at Old Trafford on the 6th of December, while the return fixture will occur on the 3rd of April.
